Why Skip the County Clerk Office?

In California, most couples think they must go to the County Clerk Recorder to get a marriage license. While that’s the traditional route, it’s not the only one.

Licensed notaries like us are legally authorized to issue Confidential Marriage Licenses, which are just as valid as public licenses—but with added benefits:

  • No witnesses required
  • Faster processing
  • Privacy protected (not searchable by the public)
  • Same-day convenience

For couples who value speed, privacy, or flexibility, this is the smartest option.

  • California residents

  • Those needing emergency marriages

You don’t need to live in California to use our services. We help visitors get married legally in California every day.
